Description
The
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the EPA - Implementation of
the Compliance/Prevention Underground Storage Tank Program and the Cleanup of
Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program, EPA-OLEM-OUST-18-04. There
are approximately 555,000 active regulated underground storage tanks (USTs)
nationwide that store petroleum or hazardous substances. The greatest potential
threat from a leaking UST is contamination of groundwater, the source of
drinking water for nearly half of all Americans. EPA’s Office of
Underground Storage Tanks (OUST) is soliciting proposals to foster interaction,
information sharing, and coordination among federal, state, and tribal programs
responsible for the detection, prevention, and cleaning up of releases from
federally-regulated USTs. EPA anticipates awarding two cooperative
agreements from this competitive announcement. One cooperative agreement will
support states and tribal UST release prevention programs and the other will
support states and tribal leaking underground storage tank (LUST) cleanup
programs. Applicants may submit proposals for either or both of the two
cooperative agreements; however, applicants must submit a separate proposal for
each award. EPA will not consider combined proposals.
